Letter from David Kudrow, M.D.

My insurance was balking at my O2 prescription... Dr Kudrow sent this letter:
To Whom It May Concern:
"Slammy" has been my patient since 6/29/02. He suffers from episodic cluster headaches. This is a condition that is characterized by yearly or twice yearly episodes of daily headaches which occur typically 1-3 times per day. The headache itself is described as an excruciating, incapacitating, unilateral pain, associated with lacrimation and rhinorrea. Each attack lasts 30 to 90 minutes. They may occur during waking hours (i.e. at work or home) and frequently they occur in the middle of the night, awakening the patient from a dead sleep. Because the headache pain is so terrible, it is imperative that the patient has a reliable, acute treatment for them. Oxygen is the safest way to abort a cluster attack. it is also the most effective. The patient is instructed to inhale 100% oxygen at a rate of 7 liters per minute for 10-15 minutes per cluster attack. The patient is also treated concomitantly with prophylactic medications to prevent as many of the attacks as possible. It is proven safe and effective and a treatment of choice for cluster headaches.
Mr. "Slammy" needs oxygen for his cluster headaches.
Sincerely,
David Kudrow, M.D.

Thanks Slammy, my assumption is that this document did the trick.
Guess the answer to the above is "Not Yet".

I missed Jonny's explanation of Slammy...Thank you. I never know when its for real or you are making an idiot out of a relatively new person?? I am not surprised by the description given some of the previous threads. Also-again, I am clueless asto why you asked, but I do not have a sister named Cat...only a Betty who has cats? ;D ;D ;D

It's short for ram-slammer... Remember the study they published recently on rams, and dissecting their brains to look for defects... Well... To make a long story short, Slammy was one of the test subjects.
